![]() I was using google calendar before and it was seamlessly migrated. Huh? I’m using the native calendar app all the time since I got my first macbook 7 years ago. Plenty of our users are in the same boat and Google Calendar doesn't support native functionality. Eventually I had to switch to Google Calendar for work. > I myself used to be an Apple Calendar user. In fact we can see this by using a recursive grep in ~/Library for the name of one of my meetings. The github user has a different name than the project author (who has his own empty github profile elsewhere) so The only public code I could find for this project by this author is 13 years old and lacks any code to open the meeting links or handle hotkeys of any kind. Also I tried to write an app that would call command line utilities and it was a bear to get the permissions. Actually I looked at the version history and since it used to always open them in Chrome that's probably not the case. I'm guessing that all Next Meeting does is run the command line utility `open` with the contents of the LOCATION field from the ICS file corresponding to the entry. Window.location = `zoommtg:///join?action=join&confno=$` However if I hit my shortcut key (with or without Next Meeting's menu open) it opens up the meeting link in the browser which then, in JS, does something like Clicking any of the items in the menu opens Calendar where I need to click the Zoom link in the text of the description of the meeting. Then Next Meeting makes a drop down menu in my menubar where the title is the name of my next meeting. In Calendar.app this link is still present inside of the calendar event in the LOCATION field although you can't actually see or edit it in there, odd. I have linked macOS's Calendar.app with Google Calendar. These can either be a Google Meet link, or a Zoom meeting link (through our Zoom integration with Google Calendar). When we create meetings in Google Calendar (in the desktop browser never tried anywhere else) we can add a video conferencing link to the invitation. ![]() We priced it towards the higher end to see if we're delivering enough value to our users. Note: We're still early on and are trying to figure out our pricing. We’re new to the productivity space and still have a lot to learn, so we’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts. Sensitive user data like calendar events don’t pass through our servers. We want to better organize everything you use as we’ve done with Google Calendar.įor those who are curious, it’s built using React + Electron and designed to look as native as possible in the menu bar. We’re now looking to bring Slack and GitHub into a unified notification inbox in the menu bar. It shouldn’t take cycling through ten different apps and Chrome tabs to stay on top of everything. ![]() The SaaS platforms we use for work don't work well together. We’ve only solved a small part of a bigger problem. We’ve made common actions, like joining Zoom meetings and checking what’s coming up, a click away. So, we built a Mac app to bring the platform we check the most, Google Calendar, into the menu bar. Our calendars became more important, yet meetings took ten clicks to join and were easy to miss. We settled on one we all faced during our remote internships. We started YC as a video lecture platform for professors but realized it was a horrible idea. We’re building a calendar app for the Mac menu bar.Ī few months ago, we were students from the University of Waterloo. I’m Jordan from Superpowered ( ), here with my co-founders Nikhil, Nick, and Ibrahim.
